A beacon flashes
A ship wrecks
The wind it whips the world
To destruction

People rush
Risking life and salvation
Against the swirling mauling stream
Pounding rocks
To sand

Boats launched defying courage
Black water
Swelling the hands
Freezing the hearts
And still the boats fight

To fight
The elements
The future
And resolve

passing shadows

To fight
The elements
The future
And resolve

Fragile we are, yet also determined when it comes to survive ..

Powerful.

This is my kind of poetry. Full of life and robust with imagery. Very fine.
